We honor your relics, for you are an excellent physician and powerful intercessor; / as we gather to praise you with psalms and hymns, divinely-wise and Venerable Sampson, / we glorify Christ, who granted you the grace of healing.
Venerable Serapion of Kozhe Lake
Troparion — Tone 5
(For reading in the cell)
You indicated the way to salvation through Christ, / rejecting the Hagarene wickedness of your family, / loving Christ God with all your heart, / you regarded boyar honors as nothing, / you chose to live an eremitic life, / with the desert-dweller Nephon you served the Lord, / glorifying the Holy Trinity with prayers and labors in the wilderness, you were revealed as a branch of the good root, / bringing forth good fruit to the Lord. / O Father Serapion, / pray unceasingly for all of us.
Kontakion — Tone 2
You increased the grace given to you by God a hundredfold, / establishing a northern abode in the wilderness, / and with love you gathered and nourished a multitude of others; / you were not wounded by the labors and reproaches of the brethren, / but were revealed as an image of meekness, patience, and humility; / therefore, Venerable Father Serapion, / entreat the Lord to grant these grace-filled gifts to our souls.
Venerable George of Mount Athos
Troparion — Tone 8
By a flood of tears you made the desert fertile, / and your longing for God brought forth fruits in abundance. / By the radiance of miracles you illumined the whole universe! / O our holy father George, pray to Christ our God to save our souls!

Hieromartyr Kirion II, Catholicos-Patriarch of All Georgia
Troparion — Tone 4
By sharing in the ways of the Apostles, / you became a successor to their throne. / Through the practice of virtue, you found the way to divine contemplation, O inspired one of God; / by teaching the word of truth without error, you defended the Faith, / even to the shedding of your blood. / Hieromartyr Kirion, entreat Christ God to save our souls.
